Some of you might have heard by now that we’re having a partial eclipse coming up late this Summer on August 21st, for 2017. And if you haven’t heard by now, we’re happy to be ones to inform you!

As a matter of fact, the partial eclipse will be visible through a swath of areas almost as wide as the country itself and our side ends right here on the Smoky Mountains. The good news is that it ends on OUR side of the mountains, so the National Park Service is already getting several places prepped for viewers to congregate together and see it in action.
